Is the use of DLC the same as cheating?

Taking out the Dragon's Dogma main boss using a DLC weapon which gains extra experience points, is this considered cheating?

Before cheats used to be free. Now you have to pay for not having to input a code.

princejb1344663d ago

i agree

whats also cheating is locking away features from a game and than charging for it as dlc
im looking at you capcom

BrutallyBlunt4663d ago

Those cheat codes also didn't have any impact outside of your own experience with the game. The problem now is online play and using cheat codes and other tools like this DLC to speed up the process.

Another issue is the standardized implemantion now of Trophies and Achievements. They have added another layer to this.

WeskerChildReborned4663d ago

If you know Dead Rising 2 Off the Record, you'll know that Capcom literally charges you for cheats like you have to pay $5.00 to put cheats on that game -.- How low can Capcom get? what next? DLC credit?

ShadesMoolah4663d ago

I would consider it borderline cheating, you're paying for an easy method, which is perhaps similar to looking online for an easy method to beating a boss.

Raf1k14663d ago

I don't think it matters one bit when it's single player. Cheating only matters when you're playing competitively.

Only problem is, all the DLC weapons for DD are crap damage. The weapon in particular you have to waste a pot when you use it as you can see in the first video on the page, because it eats through sta like hell, and all it gives you is an xp boost. Boosting your xp is nice, but its not gonna help you level the different classes any faster and you'll end up killing enemies a lot slower. Also, you can wear pretty much any gear at any level, so its not really a race to lvl up fast enough to wear certain gear. Also, the Monster Hunter DLC weapons are crap damage as well unless you use them against the specific enemy, but even then the later weapons are gonna be better.

None of the weapons are better damage wise than the later items you can find in end game or off UR Dragon. These weapons are nice, but only as starting gear.

GTRrocker6664663d ago (Edited 4663d ago )

I beat dead space's impossible mode with the help of armor dlc so I would have to say yes. It is the same as using a cheat code if you are using it to beat something and not just for fun or the Cool factor

Summons754663d ago

I'd say no seeing as it is suppose to be part of the game where as making your self invincible with weapons that are not even suppose to be in the game. The only reason where I consider it broken is like in Oblivion, if your starting a new game and you have all the dlc and shivering isles than you could just go to shivering isles, get dusk/dawn fang and have the best weapon in the game as soon as you step out of the sewers. Dusk/dawn fang is easily the best weapon in the game since it can't break and get even more powerful after so many kills

Dragon's Dogma Is Still Amazing

Although the sequel is on the near horizon, the original Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen remains a fantastic action RPG, still worth playing.

A lot of the quest lines in Skyrim are good(not all and they don’t add up as a whole if you do thieves guild mage fighters guild etc) The dragons are very lame after the first few times and the combat is clunky as it always has been. The stupid sprint button is ridiculous.

Overall I agree DD is the better rpg game.

Both have theirs strengths and weaknesses but Skyrim should be so much more being the 5th game in Elder Scrolls series.

Excited to see what they add on to DD 2.

Unfortunately all they have done to Elder Scrolls since Morrowind is take things out (minus the sprint button which is so lame because you can kill dragon god like creatures but can’t run for more than ten seconds without getting tired)

anast426d ago (Edited 426d ago )

I liked the vampire questline and the return to Morrowind was okay, but the problem with Skyrim was the lack of consequence. There is almost no point in the quests. After I realized this, I started messing around with the mods and then quit playing. Though, I did spend 300 hrs. on modded content, but this is telling of how bad the game kind of is.

If DD was the size or close to the size of Skyrim, It would have been the primer fantasy game back then. I hope they up the size with DD2.

5 Games To Play While Waiting For Dragon's Dogma II

Daman Shelley from NoobFeed writes - Dragon's Dogma is truly a one-of-a-kind game, and there really is no other game like it, but there are a few that come close. Whether with their fantasy settings, the ability to climb mountains, or just with the overall same charm as Capcom’s iconic RPG. Here's a list of games that will hopefully scratch that Dragon's Dogma itch.

every gamer should play this game

gold_drake476d ago

cant wait for it, feb and march are busy busy months ha.

SovereignSnaKe476d ago

I can still hear the title screen music in my head after nearly 12 years. Loved every minute of it.

MrNinosan476d ago

I have no issues filling my time til DD2.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Infinite Wealth and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will probably me more than enough.
More terrified I won't be done in time.

DivineHand125476d ago

Try not to burn yourself out before the game releases. This is going to be a long and immersive RPG like the first one.

The games in this article are all great and I believe the people who are excited for Dragons Dogma 2 probably already played most of those games.

For now, I recommend you prepare yourself for long play sessions if you will be picking up Dragons Dogma at launch.
